I have xend configured to use unix domain socket for Xen API server with
no authentication.  In xend-config.sxp:

(xen-api-server ((unix none)))

The socket is restricted to root via file permissions.  In xm-config.xml
I have xm configured to use the socket

  <server type='Xen-API'
          uri='httpu:///var/run/xend/xen-api.sock' />
